Yes, it's possible, with a bit of JavaScript. You can have the date field automatically populated when the form is first opened or after they enter their name. For the latter, you could add the following script to the Validate event of the name field:
// Get a reference to the date field
var f = getField("date");
if (event.value) {
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
} else {
f.value = "";
}
Replace "date" with the actual name of your date field. You can also use a different date format, but this should get you started. If you want it to populate when the document is opened, it's a bit more complicated, but post again if this is what you want.
